Re: Unbelievably, the Abandoned App Pre-Load Really Is Live on PS5

Throb

The whole thing is definitely odd. I'm loving the intrigue and theories, even if comes to nothing. With the actual app now installed, a few things seem 'off' to me. After selecting the language, the grammar towards the end of the text doesn't seem correct. Also, the ellipsis on 'Check back soon' is wrong. And one, probably just for me and my OCD touches, the alignment on screen of the words 'Check back soon..' is not central, it's aligned off centre to the right. I just think it's odd to have these little things there for something PS5 exclusive? Or it's just me

@Shepherd_Tallon The Outer Worlds is far better than Fallout. It's more colourful than the bleakness in F4. The characters are all multidimensional with great stories. All your actions really do feel like they mean something to the whole story. Definitely worth a go! I think PushSquare gave a good detailed review too somewhere

Re: Beware This Trophy in PS5 Stunner Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Throb

Just had a about an hour of play and then the screen went black after I died and never restarted. I closed the game and everything was odd, wouldn't let me open anything else, i went to restart the PS5 and the screen just froze on the options. The button on the PS5 did nothing even if i held it in. I just had to pull out the power cord to actually turn the PS5 off. Now it's not wanting to do anything! A bit miffed...

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Debunks Widespread Rumour of the Game's 'No Man's Sky Style Comeback'

I've played loads of this, not sure how far in I am though. I'm loving it though, great atmosphere, characters, story. I've not really encountered many glitches to be honest, i saw more in AC Valhalla. Sure, i have seen some glitches but for a world this size i was expecting it. Every open world game i've played has had glitches of some sort. I was getting the game crashing error to start off with but haven't had one of those for quite a while. I'd happily recommend my experience with it to others

Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla (PS4) - Epic Viking Adventure Buckled by Countless Bugs

@ShogunRok Brilliant review and exactly the same impressions that I have from my first couple of days with it. Looks gorgeous but it just isn't finished, so many little bugs here and there, although they're not game breaking it just takes you out of the atmosphere. I'm glad you didn't mention flying papers, i've tried a few and they are easily the most annoying thing i have come across in an AC game

Re: Poll: One Week Later, What Review Score Would You Give Death Stranding?

Throb

I've played probably about 9 hours, just got to the bit with getting the bike for the first time (not a spoiler, there was a bike in the trailer). I've had to give it a 6 at the moment, it's not bad. I love the story, visuals, sound, music and atmosphere but i have been bored a lot too. I have also had a lot of elation when I have achieved something but again I have had to rage quit when I have lost all my cargo in a stupid way. The bits I don't like are the stealthing around BTs, wobbling a lot, and tedium. Do my favourite bits get better and do the bits I don't like diminish at all? I'm really on the edge of binning it...

Re: Site News: Where's Our Call of Duty: Modern Warfare PS4 Review?

Throb

The single player is pretty good, quite short maybe 6 hours to complete. Some great sequences though and good atmosphere. There's a level near the beginning which is really intense. Multiplayer is still very sound from the beta. A good tight feeling from the MP gameplay. I'd say an 8.5/10
